Matthew Temple

In 2001, Temple wrote and produced his first feature film, Senses of Place, while still an undergraduate at Marlboro College. Shot on super 16mm film, the film went on to play at over a dozen film festivals nationwide and won a Remi Award at WorldFest Houston and honored as Best of the Fest at the Lake Placid Film Forum. Since then, Temple has gone on to produce, write and/or direct dozens of projects, including national commercials, music videos, award winning short films and numerous feature films.

In 2007, Temple began working with producers Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush, producers of High School Musical. He worked on music design and development for two feature films with them, The American Mall, an MTV co-production and First Love: It’s the Music, a Columbia Pictures local language production in Russia. He then branched out on his own, producing several independent feature films, including the award-winning independent thriller, The Advocate, directed by Tamas Harangi. Most recently, Temple serves as VP of Production and Development for Mili Pictures, a Chinese animation studio with offices both in China and Santa Monica, CA.

Shortly after his return to Los Angeles, Temple was cast in his first feature film Animals with Naveen Andrews, Marc Blucas and Nicki Aycox. But it wasn’t until two years later that Temple’s career as an actor began to take off. He started off 2010 being cast in Jonah Hex with Josh Brolin and went on to star in Chillerama with Joel David Moore and Kane Hodder, "L.A. Paranormal", 8213: Gacy House, an Assylum Picture, and Crescendo by Alonso Alvarez Barredo, whose first short film “Historia de un Letrero” won the highly coveted Best Short Film Award in the Short Film Corner at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. Temple has starred in over a dozen movies and TV shows.
